Chapter 1397: Difficult Negotiations (Part II)

The Tongbei Imperial Post House is very large, at least four or five times the size of the Shaodian National Post House, and there are many palaces built in it, and only the two major empires have this qualification.

Ji Yu receives guests in a side hall.

"I thought we were friends. He was holding a transparent wine glass, which was filled with a century-old fruit.

"Of course it is!" Ding Kui sniffed the wine glass, "This is a genuine century-old fruit brew, Your Highness is too attentive!"

"Since we're friends, you can't watch me being bullied. Ji Yu has resentment.

"Who would dare to bully Your Highness? I don't think your men would allow such a thing to happen. Ding Kui pretended to be stupid.

"It was you who told me that my country and the Meng country were going to send troops to the Cao country, and recently the queen and the duke have been talking to you frequently, don't you have anything to tell me?" Ji Yu did not let Ding Kui go.

"Oh, hahaha, you may have misunderstood, my country has an old grudge with me, and I came here this time to solve this problem. ”

Ding Kui has an excuse, and Ji Yu can also find out those things, and he can hide the real content of his talks with his own country.

"Really?" Ji Yu had already investigated before sending someone to find Ding Kui.

"I'm going to hide it from you, why should I tell you that my country is going to send troops to Cao State?"

"You said you hadn't made a decision last time, so it won't change today, right?" Ji Yu stared at Ding Kui's eyes.

"Alas, I won't change my mind easily, but my own country is not something I can resist, you really have to be prepared, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Ding Kui began to do the foreshadowing.

"It's just an ancient recipe, and there are many restrictions in it, so why should you bother with it. Ji Yu looked regretful.

"That is, isn't it very good for everyone to do business with harmony? If it weren't for the chaotic party controlling the government, I wouldn't be able to unite the entire Shaodian country, and I would definitely help you deter your own country. Ding Kui was indignant.

"Huh?" Ji Yu heard a glimmer of hope, "How can I help you pacify the Shaodian Kingdom?"

"Hehe, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, the rebels and the rebels have more than a million regular troops, not to mention that they have powerful support behind them, and the cost of pacifying them is greater than repelling the Mengji coalition army. ”

"Makes sense. Ji Yu didn't have much hope, "Actually, I have already explained to King Ji that our cooperation with Qi Guo is limited, but if there is an outside influence, the cooperation will be expanded, but unfortunately he didn't listen." ”

"What do you want me to do, just say, I will give priority to it without affecting the interests. Ding Kui looked at Ji Yu very sincerely.

"Well, I'll talk about it when I go to you. Ji Yu didn't expect Ding Kui to be so direct, and he was completely unprepared before.

He came to Ding Kui to understand the situation in his country, and he didn't think that Ding Kui could change his country's mind, and he didn't consider how much Ding Kui could help him.

Nanqiu County has a new courtyard, which is set up in the same way as the staff headquarters of the Zhenjing Commander's Mansion, and the most important thing is that Jiang Xi works here.

"This is the latest development of the Tenth Legion. Fei handed Jiang Xi a document.

Jiang Xi demanded that all information be sent to the General Staff as soon as possible.

"Well, they want to test the strength of our defenses, they will not storm somewhere if they are so divided, they will order the border counties, not to engage the cavalry, strictly control the distribution of forage and hoarding, and double the defenders of all fortress checkpoints. "He saw through the intentions of the Tenth Legion.

"Yes!" Kong Ren recorded them one by one.

"Do you want to fight?" Fei Ze looked at Duping County on the map.

"Tip, what did you mean when I took office? Jiang Xi suddenly recalled the past.

"This, thinking of the old master, disheartened, and hoping for the adult's forgiveness. Fei replied helplessly.

"You can't hide it, how tired I am without your help, you have to make meritorious contributions, you know?" Jiang Xi was just teasing.

"Your Excellency, despite your orders, don't dare to disobey you. ”

Fei Ze and Liu Yu left the staff in a bad mood, and now they are going around and working under Jiang Xi, so they knew why they did it in the first place.

"Fighting a battle looks simple, but in fact it is not easy, and it is better not to fight if you don't have a good sense of proportion. Jiang Xi is also looking at Duping County.

Kong Ren opened his mouth, but he couldn't help but say, the two bigwigs in front of him are not Ding Kui, and if he says something wrong, he doesn't know how he will be criticized.

Jiang Xi noticed Kong Ren's actions, so he asked with a smile, "Does Staff Officer Kong have a good plan?"

"Yes, the subordinates feel that what Fei Ze said should be a tentative attack, which can be regarded as a surprise to the snake, and it is enough to test the movement of the enemy's main force, and the subordinates recognize themselves to be competent. Kong Ren boldly asked for battle.

"Is it really that simple?" Jiang Xi seemed to ask Kong Ren, but his eyes looked at Fei Ze.

"Not exactly, it's not a failure to achieve this goal. Fei Ze only knew that Jiang Xi was taking the test himself, "However, if it is commanded by Zaixia, after the enemy's main force is exposed, the attack will be intensified, and then all the garrisons in the border counties will be mobilized to set up a suspicious situation, and the enemy will quickly withdraw after he sees through it." ”

After receiving Jiang Xi's encouragement, Kong Ren asked, "Why do you want to set up doubts for the enemy to see?" He saw the point but didn't understand why.

Jiang Xi nodded, and said to Fei Ze: "If this battle is successful, it can be calm for a while, this battle will be handed over to you, and teach the newcomer to make up for your merits." ”

"Humble and orderly!" Fei Zeli saluted.

Kong Ren was dazed, and Fei Ze patted him on the shoulder: "Write a military order." ”

"You teach me first, this is also a military order. "Kong Ren is cheating.

"Well, let me mention you, the biggest purpose of this battle is to create internal contradictions among the enemy, don't forget who the new ones are. ”

"Oh!" Kong Ren understood, "ruthless enough!"

Ding Kui and Liang Chong calculated for a day and a night, and determined the bottom line of the safety of Chunluwan Water Village, so they sent someone to hand over a post, asking to enter the palace alone to meet the queen.

The negotiations need to be completed before Shaodianrong's birthday banquet, which is the consensus of both parties.

The final stage of the negotiation was quite smooth, mainly due to the attitude of the king, Shaodian Rong inevitably complained: "Shaodian is weak, my country is strong, why is Ding Kui cheap at this time?"

Ji Nan puffed out his chest and said: "Take a long-term view, the civil strife in Shaodian Kingdom is not so easy to end, why not let Ding Kui make some cheap now, when Heijing Iron is over, we have a way to clean him up." ”

Shao Dianrong was a little surprised, she found that her husband had changed, becoming more decisive and confident, and she didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing for her and Jiman.

At the beginning of October, the news of the arrival of the 10th Army in Nannuma Prefecture reached Ding Kui's ears.

The speed of magic transmission is fast, but the cost of reaching Shouyang City is too high, and messages that are not very urgent will not be used.

"Let's go back when the birthday banquet is over, and we're done talking about it. Ding Kui made a decision.

"Is it a big problem?" Shao Dianluan didn't know much about the Legion, and the Tenth Legion was one of them.

"With my second uncle here, a legion is not to be feared, but the more I attach importance to the enemy, the easier it is to become complacent, and I can give them an illusion. "Ding Kui does not miss any opportunity to make a game.

"Sending the Tenth Army to the south is a failure, it is not as good as other regular legions, and the Commander's Office is becoming more and more mediocre. "It's rare for a good rush to complain about the top brass of the military.

Shaodian Rong's fifty-fifth birthday banquet is comparable to the specifications of the king, mainly reflected in the foreign guests, the prince of the Tongbei Empire, the princess of the Lu State, the Shaodian State and the Qi State, the Meng State is the heir of the Zhenhai Gong, the famous female general god, only the Guyuan Empire and the Cao State are slightly lower in the representative status.

Ji Nan temporarily decided to promote the birthday banquet to the state banquet, to give the queen the queen, and at the same time let the guests see the strength of their country.

"It's a spectacular spectacle, and the performance of the Guards is wonderful. Ding Kui couldn't help but admire.

Liang Chong asked, "How is the Bitter Combat Regiment?"

"Strong! I don't deny it. Ding Kui was not blinded by arrogance.

Shaodianluan asked secretly: "Is it a demonstration with us?"

Ding Kui comforted: "No, the Imperial Forest Army will not leave the capital lightly, unless the king is personally recruited, I have not done anything that hurts the heavens and reason, nor have I colluded with the demons, there is no such treatment." ”

"Then Prince Ji always peeks at you, what does he want to do?" Shaodian Luan noticed a detail.

"Hehe, it's nothing, when he visits Giant Sheep City, you can ask in person. ”

"Go! Do you want to disgrace Hongu?"

“......”

On the second day of the birthday banquet, Shaodian Luan and his wife entered the palace to say goodbye, and the queen and queen Wen Yan failed to stay, so they sent a rich return gift.

On the next day, Shaodian Luan and his wife led their entourage to Guanbei City through the portal, and Jiangzhou Mu personally greeted and sent them out of Guanbei City.

Feng Run led the escort team to wait outside the city, "Lord Zhou Mu didn't keep you?" he asked Ding Kui.

"He can't wait to drive us away, how can he stay?" Ding Kui glanced back at the team that hurried back to the city, "He will regret it." ”

"What do you mean?" Feng Run suddenly came to his senses.

"It's nothing, I made a small deal with the horses. ”

"Don't forget that we are allies. Feng Run was in a hurry.

"You can't be too greedy, behind this deal is your own king. Money can never be earned, and it must be taken in a proper way. Ding Kui patted Feng Run's shoulder.

“......”

The return journey is faster than when he came, Ding Kui is familiar with this road, he flew with Ao Yan at the beginning, there was no scenery for Shaodianluan to watch, and they arrived at the border between the two countries half a month later.

"Lord Qiyu, Lord Fei Zefei led the troops to attack Duping County, and Gongsun Mi led 100,000 local troops to rescue. "The SSA spies came the fastest.

"Aha, it's just the right time to come back, you escort Madame home, I'll go first. Ding Kui flew into the sky in full view of everyone.

That night, the Nanqiu County Staff received the news that the eldest princess had returned to the border.

"Do you want to inform Commander Ding? Please ask him to cooperate with Mr. Fei's actions. ”

"Hehe, I'm afraid he thought of it before you. Jiang Xi saw Kong Ren's intentions, "I don't need you to remind me, in three days at most, Kui'er should be able to return here." ”

At this time, there was a quarrel in the Governor's Mansion of Chengzhou in Nanjing, "What are you kidding! How can Gongsun Mi He De? He actually gave me an order! Can't I see the enemy's suspicious tactics?" Shao Diantai roared in the council room.

Wei Shiwen pretended to persuade him: "Lord Gongsun has good intentions, for fear that there will be an accident in your army, and then Fei is scheming, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no ambush, and the main force of the Eighth Army has not yet appeared." ”

Shao Diantai was even more angry when he heard this: "Fart! Don't use the Eighth Legion to scare me!"
